MONDAY CHECK-IN!!



If you had a long weekend, I hope you enjoyed it! Unfortunately, Monday's over and it's time to check in, but you've still got one more day left to write tomorrow. Let us know how you're doing in the meantime! Intermediary check-ins are completely optional, but if you want some extra encouragement come and tell us how you are doing and encourage your fellow writers also!

Remember you can always find encouragement here, in the chatroom or in Serious Business Writing Room.

It's not too late to join in the war! Just check in at the original post right here.

So... how's it going so far?

If You Set Other Goals (get characters to hook up, find a way to work in some smut/angst/fluff, reach a certain plot point, whatever), Are You Progressing? I am! My goal was to actually write instead of just being a frustrated mess, and I have!

“What the fuck happened to your wand?”

“Er,” Harry says. “I nicked Mum’s.” His heart is racing and he’s desperately trying to come up with a reason why Jamie Cadogan would have to steal his mother’s wand.

“Yeah, right,” Matt says. He’s got his hand in his pocket, and Harry can see the outline of his fist as he grips his wand. “Did you nick her face too?”

Fuck! He looks down at his hands and finds them growing longer and more slender. And what’s worse, more blurry. He needs his glasses again. He grips his wand tightly and looks back up, just as Bludger raises his wand.

You're getting there :-)! And it sure is wise to rest for one day after that writing-marathon you put yourself through!
Edit: ...and get your mind off those totally un-school-like topics ;-)!!!

Anything To Share (flailing, requests for butt-kicking, pep-talks, snippets, etc.)? I don't have a ton of time to write tonight, so I'm probably not going to make my 10k goal, but I am halfway done with the fic, and that is really not bad. <3
